View From the Beauty Closet: Spring Makeup Peek

It finally may be getting cold in New York City, but in the Allure offices, we've got springtime on the brain. This week, we started working on our spring makeup stories by sifting through all of the hot-off-the-presses, not-hitting-stores-until-2014 shadows, lipsticks, blushes, and so on. Our process? We bring everything into the conference room, then spend hours slicking, brushing, and smoothing on the colors to find the best of the best. Yes, it's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it, right?
